Quote:Flannery made a prediction about when tempratures would fall (in centuries), if all human CO2 emission topped (not methane or water vapor emission). I think it is a very stupid thing to say. He was rattled by Bolt and he came out ith a massive howler.
How was it stupid? How is it different from mainstream climate science?
Quote:So Abbott is exactly right when he says that an Australian carbon tax will not make a scrap of difference to the environment in a 1000 years. He could have said any number between 1 and a million.
Is he exactly right in what he actually says? Remember, he was not giving his own interpretation, he was claiming something on behalf of Flannery. I got more of the quote from hansard:
Quote:We heard from the government’s principal climate change salesman, Professor Flannery, just last Friday that it will not make a difference for a thousand years.
Do you understand that he is making a statement about Flannery, not just about his views on the tax - a statement that is a lie?
NO I DON'T THINK HE(PRETENDINGLY) DOES...
